In reply the hosts, who were skittled for 202 on Day 1 in their first innings, were 36-1.

Jayawardene made 203 not out, captain Angelo Mathews contributed 86 and Kithuruwan Vithanage hit a maiden century as Sri Lanka posted an incredible first innings lead of 498.

Jayawardene and Mathews put on 179 for the sixth wicket, with the former captain bringing up his 33rd Test century off 163 balls.

Mathews departed 14 runs short of his third Test century midway through the afternoon when he was caught by Marshall Ayub at short mid-on off Sohag Gazi.

However, Sri Lanka reached 600 just before tea with Vithanage playing fluently and the 22-year-old, in just his third Test, brought up his ton off just 99 balls.

He contributed 103 of the 176 runs in the unbroken seventh wicket partnership before Mathews pulled his side out as soon as Jayawardene had completed his seventh Test double century after nearly seven hours at the crease.

The hosts were faced with batting six-and-a-half sessions to save the match and suffered an immediate blow as Tamim Iqbal went for 11 in the fourth over.
